Alternatively, if you want to specify expected parameters in action signature, but pass them as arbitrary GET arguments. Use filters, for example:

Create a route without parameters:

$Route::get('/history', ['uses'=>'ExampleController@history']);

Specify action with two parameters and attach the filter:

class ExampleController extends BaseController
{
    public function __construct($browser)
    {
        $this->beforeFilter('filterDates', array(
            'only' => array('history')
        ));
    }

    public function history($fromDate, $toDate)
    {
        /* ... */
    }

}

Filter that translates GET into action's arguments :

Route::filter('filterDates', function($route, Request $request) {
    $notSpecified = '_';

    $fromDate = $request->get('fromDate', $notSpecified);
    $toDate = $request->get('toDate', $notSpecified);

    $route->setParameter('fromDate', $fromDate);
    $route->setParameter('toDate', $toDate);
});
